I recognize that this was a tongue-in-cheek comment, but it got me  
thinking.... If your goal is to understand and communicate with  
people who love hip hop, then why not learn that kind of English  
first?  The language of the hip hop culture can be highly eloquent  
and expressive in its own way -- just like the Koine Greek of the NT.

I started with Koine and after then Homer and then Attic but would
not  recommend that sequence. Learning Koine first is like learning
English by listening to Hip Hop.
